Microsoft just made it feasible to install Windows on a small capacity solid state drive (SSD) or hard drive with not much space left. Using a new deployment option called Windows Image Boot, or WIMBoot, users can install Windows 8.1 in just 3GB of space. This is an option that could come in handy if you're rocking a system with a 16GB SSD...

Yes... but depending on how big a scale you want the spoof to be (I know of the hack for iTunes), it could be difficult. I recently got the idea to make a "reference extended kernel" for 8/8.1 that wouldn't add anything but patch everything to allow mods like that. Just to prove it could be done in spite of the hardening of CI

ImSwordQueen 10/01/2022 18:36
what do you mean by "reference extended kernel"
Avatar
A way of indicating what changes need to be made for an 8.x extended kernel to work. And that would prove that it is possible.

Notepad3 is just a continued version of Notepad2. Well. It's basically intended to replace Windows Notepad, and look and function almost the same. Just with some additions like line highlighting, zoom, word wrap, numbered lines. Lot of that is in Notepad on 10/11 tho
17:27
Notepad++ is more for coders because it has more features, but for basic use it feels a tad clunky to me
17:28
Try them both and pick your flavor I guess

really?

it doesn't pull the drivers automatically for many things that Windows 8.x and 10 would do
oh god
16:20
you mean they reverted back to the vista/7 way of doing things?
16:20
that was one of the greatest advantages of 8+

like the CH340 USB-Serial chip
but for me with some devices it doesn't download the driver automatically

I think Ximonite would know

I've also used Windows 11 since the day it was released to Insider Dev

it pulled all the drivers fine for me

well for the regular stuff like chipset, intel graphics, wifi etc it pulled it automatically from Windows Update
16:22
but I have some USB devices that I have to install the drivers manually since Windows 11 won't download the drivers

ltsb 2016 is pretty good, i do agree. but.... i wouldn't use it over 8.x. the driver model changed around 1703 or so, so 8.1 can actually run newer display drivers and such. it has a better interface than even ltsb with a better theme engine. i only use 10 for things that are just not possible with 8 or lower
16:24
and most 10-y software tends to favor 17.x

basically just preference

just has a lame theme engine. that there isn't using a patched theme at all, just open shell and custom border colors that are native to windows

i used simplexprick's 7 ribbon from his old 7 theme for 8.1
15:46
changed the user icons to look like vista's, but left the rest of the 7/8 ones. also changed the information and help icons back to aero icons, because 8 is weird and uses aero style critical x, but flat information logos. its like they started to design a new icon set, then just said screw it. we're done lol

bro i don't have 8.1 much less modded 8.1

i'll assume you do

does windows not use the frame from explorerframe.dll

I mean if you wanna rebuild the theme with that frame, I'll try it
16:27
i'm not messing with it otherwise

I think the frames are okay, but there's room for improvement

i thought oldnewexplorer had an option for alternate frames?
16:29
i might be going crazy
16:29
oh yeah
16:29
i think so
Avatar
does windows 8.1 not use explorerframe.dll
16:30
i'm pretty sure the O.N.E option just makes explorer use resources from O.N.E itself
16:30
almost sure
16:30
or it's explorerframe.dll

i have no idea

hmmmmmmm

it uses the theme for the back and forward button resources

I prefer the 5308 theme to simplebrat's, but i do like how simplebrat cleaned up his back/forward atlas

because they didn't use some shitty probably cut out frames
16:33
or they don't know how to make pngs from bmps with alpha channels
16:33
which btw: you use pixelformer

that and i dont want this to look like a clone of vista rtm because i once got so confused between vista and 7 i tried removing traces of libraries from vista's registry trol
16:34
until i realized i was on vista and dropped my head in shame
16:34
8.1's explorerframe still includes the 7 resources
16:34
how useless

you have to

transplant them into a random dll

extract them

and then import them into the mui

because i forgor about customizergod not supporting muis

#RadMorning 04/04/2022 20:26
main issue is that certain programs react more slowly than on newer Windows
20:26
After Effects is the best example here
20:26
The UI was responsive in Windows 10 (not that smooth, but certainly usable)
20:27
now it's quite slow

Ah, I got you
20:31
Well 8.x is pretty cool, because it operates a lot like Windows 10 does, but with 7's frontend basically

also, my laptop was made at the time when 8.x was latest (January 2014 - Dell Latitude e7240)

22:53
aaa
22:53
forget it
22:55
desk.cpl, 5
22:55
also works
22:55
anyways i tried 7's cpl and of course it doesn't work
22:55
why would it
22:57
this is the key
22:58
fuuuuckiing naaailed it
22:58
the formula is -15 * px
22:58
so if i want 21 px (edited)
22:58
-15 * 21 = -315
22:59
why the fuck microsoft
23:00
i think you also need to keep the border padding to -60
23:00
aka default
23:00
makes the back forward buttons look misaligned but the frame isn't fucked then
23:01
maybe i am tripping and they look correct
23:03
nah they are misaligned towards the right (edited)
Avatar
ImSwordQueen 16/04/2022 23:10
Check if with 22 is still misaligned or not
23:11
you set the border to -45
23:11
and the border looks thin and cut out on the right and bottom
23:12
-60 matches windows 7 and the frame looks normal but the buttons are misaligned
23:12
why do i feel like the reflections should be more pronounced
23:12
on the glass
23:13
it's set to max

ImSwordQueen 16/04/2022 23:17
In this pic it doesn't look misaligned
23:17
It can be me but for me it doesn't look like that (edited)
Avatar
becaaauuseeee
23:19
you used -45 for the border padding
23:19
that's why
23:19
it makes the frame thinner and truncates it slightly on the right and on the bottom
23:19
-60 is the default value
23:19
matches 7 perfectly
23:19
though has the misaligned back forward buttons
23:19
p.s where the fuck is the frame on those buttons located

you see that's already better
apparently this stuff isn't actually on the border in windows 7
21:27
they're overlays
21:27
21:28
i.e
21:28
so if you want a clear windows 7 theme in windows 7
21:28
just get rid of the overlays

make them transparent

what 8's dwm doesn't support is overlays

i can't test because i don't have them

that's the 10 version

not the 8.x one
11:55
check the version number

if it's 3180.xx then it's the 10 version

it should be in the store page

you can sideload them

ok first step done

let me dump and it and see if it opens

rn it installed itself just fine
12:11
so maybe
12:11
weird that it does that on 10

basically trace the appx link with fiddler while it's downloading

the download link is the 8.x version

actually i wonder how the 10 version looks like

before i'm saying a bunch of bs

achivements don't say much

if 11 boots faster and doesn't get stuck at explorer crashing

they didn't bother to update the ui

literally it opens the charms bar

i'm more confused now

idk about the achivements because these games on 8.x are gone

A little fun fact about 8.x start screen. The store, desktop and PC settings start screen colors are dictated by the shortcut instead of the app. and during windows 8.x development Microsoft started playing with colors for these icons. these shortcuts can reused on 8 and 8.1

That usually fixes it on rtm

ok gotta activate, change IE and store icons and shove in 8400 default wallpaper to make it look accurate

yes if the certs are trusted or some lic files are somehow generated

It would be cool to extract the appx files directly and slipstream them like Microsoft does

But i dont think that's possible

store tile became the 8400 one
08:26
but IE said no
08:27
i think the splash did change tho
08:28
ok why is the IE tile cached differently from the others
Avatar
ImSwordQueen 22/04/2022 08:29
I used the faster clean cache method of customizergod and that worked

wtf it did change for the new user
08:43
ok rn gonna see if provisioning is possible with wscrack
08:44
and -SkipLicense
08:46
especially when the certs for said apps are trusted
Avatar
ok gonna test if the runtimes and finance at least integrate
08:57
ok it doesn't
08:58
guess the only way to do it is a shitty runonce script that installs them all

well imma especially try 8250's Pinball FX 2

the reason why 8102 apps won't work is due to changes in the way appx stuff worked after 8102

they don't even work on 8118 so

it's basically the same thing as 8 RTM apps if not updated

they stop working
14:01
except xbox games still work on RTM versions
14:01
meanwhile here does not

if it wasn't for the "haha timebombed" apps. this version of xbox games was the supreme verson for 8.0 (edited)
14:09
hell. even 8.1
14:10
because 8.1 xbox games shows that angry birds space is the latest game
14:12
wow
14:17
LITERALLY THE 8400 VERSION OF XBOX GAMES CAN FIND THE EXTRA CONTENT STILL

ok the patch works
14:51
it doesn't crash

nor it will lock up
14:52
literally 1984
14:53
but also. this screams 360 vibes (edited)
14:53
okokok i found a way to make it work forever
14:53
basically
14:54
you need 8.1's settings dat file
14:54
idk if 8.0 works i haven't tried it
14:54
but with 8.1's one it no longers locks up or do weird shit
14:55
also i think this MAY work for removing the version check on the RTM music app with no updates
14:57
music now works too but goes to the other ui instead....
14:57
hm

15:24
crashes trol
15:24
OK RECOPYING THE CONFIG FILE MADE IT OPEN
15:24
crashes when reopening it oh
15:25
i wonder if video is the same bs
15:25
yep. it's the same
Avatar
when the app that works the best is Maps

ImSwordQueen 22/04/2022 15:25
xbox games if you remove the unsupported and update bs in the program files folder
15:25
it works 100%
15:25
excluding login in
15:27
using the xbox games config file it will use the old ui instead
15:27
funny
15:27
and will make the app reopen (edited)
15:27
unironically i want to try this on the rtm version of the video and music app now

ok xbox music and video also have the unsupported and update app files
Avatar
ImSwordQueen 22/04/2022 15:28
and even video now works
15:29
i found the miracle config file
15:29
that makes these apps work
15:32
how 2 debomb 8400 apps:
  • get a copy of windows 8.1
  • make an user account and open xbox games once.
  • go to "C:\Users[your user account here]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.XboxLIVEGames_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Settings"
  • copy settings.dat
  • go on 8400 or 9200 with 8400 apps installed.
  • go to "C:\Users[your user account here]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.XboxLIVEGames_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Settings" and replace the settings.dat file (repeat the process for music and video while keeping the same config.dat file)
  • optional step: delete UpdateAPP and UnsupportedAPP HTML and JS files from "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.XboxLIVEGames_1.0.810.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" (repeat the process for music and video)
(edited)

Can you run IE11 on Windows 8?

If yes, how can I do that?

the 2021-02 iso includes everything needed to do so, just run the msu

Big thanks to @daniel_k for discovering this method. Tools you'll need: A copy of Windows 8 Embedded Standard (MS is gracious enough to provide us with a download link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=37019) 7-Zip to make it easier to copy files from inside the install.wi...

how 2 debomb 8400 apps:
  • get a copy of windows 8.1
  • make an user account and open xbox games once.
  • go to "C:\Users[your user account here]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.XboxLIVEGames_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Settings"
  • copy settings.dat
  • go on 8400 or 9200 with 8400 apps installed.
  • go to "C:\Users[your user account here]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.XboxLIVEGames_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Settings" and replace the settings.dat file (repeat the process for music and video while keeping the same config.dat file)
  • optional step: delete UpdateAPP and UnsupportedAPP HTML and JS files from "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.XboxLIVEGames_1.0.810.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" (repeat the process for music and video)

It does have symbols, at least on 9200, but I doubt it does that. It still seems like a win32k thing to do.

win32k?

hm that sounds like your nickname with an additional letter appended to it

win32k has no symbols though i believe

I recall it's uDWM controlling it
01:21
Since there is a tool that alters window metrics

Also if you put uDWM from 990x to 9926, you will get windows 8 caption button width

win32k usually has symbols. I looked again and found a button class in UDWM. So maybe quite a bit is indeed done in there.

does this interest you
20:32
of course it doesn't exist on 8's DWM
20:34
@ImSwordQueen if you feel brave
20:34
you can try FF
20:34
which is probably too much

FF?

but either way

too much

but without glass8 it was perfect

wait what the fuck
20:37
i thought it'd set it more to the left

of course
20:38
it doesn't render the blur
Avatar
ImSwordQueen 30/04/2022 20:38
you have to count glass8 offset as well

ok so
20:38
223 is too "to the left"
20:38
239 is still too to the left
20:38
250 is too to the right
20:38
uhh
20:38
240?
20:38
no
20:38
we tried 245 and it changed absolutely nothing
20:39
now you see

ImSwordQueen 30/04/2022 20:39
going to try EF to see if anything changes

this is the moment i wish i had an 8.1 vm to try it out
20:39
EF was the initial value you gave us
20:39
239
Avatar
ImSwordQueen 30/04/2022 20:39
i would add by 1 every time
20:40
so we don't go by random values
20:40
and we see how close we can get
20:40
throwing random values wastes more time

but idk to what direction
20:41
or where
20:42
when i modified it. it made the text disappear

which we know offsets it even more

ImSwordQueen 30/04/2022 20:44

20:45
it's off by literally 2px

text glows are impossible

no

i'm taking a wild guess and i'll say they're handled in CreateButtonGlowsFromAtlas on 7

you can see the text has some color on the antialiasing
Because that's cleartype/subpixel oversampling
20:53
The font has little to no effect on it
Avatar
then cleartype changed from 7 to 8
20:53
simple
Avatar
ImSwordQueen 30/04/2022 20:53
yeah
20:53
it did

No, that part is probably not rendered with cleartype
20:53
Just like UWP apps don't render text with cleartype
Avatar
ImSwordQueen 30/04/2022 20:53
i'm pretty sure cleartype changed during 8 development

Still ClearType still has the subpixel oversampling thing
